Getting the dimensions of the soft keyboard

Question

Is there a way to know the size of the keyboard that is shown in the screen?

I am using Cocos2dx for programming, but I want to know the height of the keyboard shown

if your activity is not fullscreen, using code below:

content.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(
            new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

                @Override
                public void onGlobalLayout() {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    if (keyBoardHeight <= 100) {
                        Rect r = new Rect();
                        content.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);

                        int screenHeight = content.getRootView()
                                .getHeight();
                        int heightDifference = screenHeight
                                - (r.bottom - r.top);
                        int resourceId = getResources()
                                .getIdentifier("status_bar_height",
                                        "dimen", "android");
                        if (resourceId > 0) {
                            heightDifference -= getResources()
                                    .getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
                        }
                        if (heightDifference > 100) {
                            keyBoardHeight = heightDifference;
                        }

                        Log.d("Keyboard Size", "Size: " + heightDifference);
                    }
                    // boolean visible = heightDiff > screenHeight / 3;
                }
            });
